hi.
noted history of cat scratch. it is best if you bring your daughter to a doctor, preferably a general or a pediatric surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation of the wound site. if needed, debridement/cleaning and possible suturing of the laceration will be one. anti-tetanus is also recommended. daily wound care will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
